Song Lyrics

WINGS OF THE WIND

Praise the Lord O my soul
O Lord my God
You are very great
You are clothed in spendor and majesty
He wraps Himself in the light
Stretches the heavens out
And He lays the beams of His chambers on the waters

He makes the clouds His chariots
And He rides on the wings of the wind
He makes the winds His messengers
And flames of fire His servants

He set the earth in its place
It can never be moved
And He covered it with the deep
As with a garment
I will sing to the Lord
All of my life
I will sing praise to my God for as long as I live

He makes the clouds His chariots
And He rides on the wings of the wind
He makes the winds His messengers
And flames of fire His servants

I SURRENDER ALL TO THEE

If I had a million lives
It would never do
I could never give enough
To add one thing to You
All I am
All I can offer
All I'll ever be
Debtor to my Savior
I surrender all to Thee

Light in highest heaven
Tree and stream and field
Golden sunset pastureland
Sanctify our yield
Every voice of nature
Each and all declare
Your power
Your glory
Your majesty
Your care

Now in evening shadows
I will add my song
To the hills and hollows
Glancing up and on
King, Almighty, Sovereign
Gladly I shall be
Son to You, my Father
And I offer all to Thee

YOU ARE ALL TO ME

You are all to me
You are all to me
You formed the land and the rolling sea
You are my God and You're all to me

Who scattered stars across the sky
Who caused the sun and moon to shine
Who makes the desert a life-giving spring?
Who but the Lord on high?

You are all to me
You are all to me
You formed the land and the rolling sea
You are my God and You're all to me

It is our Father's good pleasure
To share His kingdom and love
Come to the Source of all holy joy
Come to the throne of God

You are all to me
You are all to me
You formed the land and the rolling sea
You are my God and You're all to me

BLESSED REST

You who separated dark and light
You who made the great and lesser lights
Now in You I come to quiet rest
Through the night You hold me safe and fast

Shadows falling I am in Your care
Thankful praises from these lips You hear
Lying in the wonder of this night
Living in the knowlege of Your heart

I come in need
I go in peace
I grow in grace
In You find rest
I grow in grace
And sleep in peace
At the end of it all
In Your blessed rest

We come in need
We go in peace
We grow in grace
In You find rest
We grow in grace
So sleep in peace
At the end of it all
In Your blessed rest

FEARFULLY, WONDROUSLY MADE

I was there
when you turned your face to the wall
I was there
when you felt you were ten feet tall
I was there
when nobody knew your name
I'll be there
and I'll tell you again and again

You are fearfully, wondrously, gloriously, lovingly made
You are loved, you are wanted, desired
I'll tell you again and again
You are fearfully, wondrously, gloriously, lovingly made

There were times
when you wondered if I was around
There were times
when you stumbled and fell to the ground
There were times
when you tried to avoid every test
But everything works for your good
when you love, when you trust you find rest

You are fearfully, wondrously, gloriously, lovingly made
You are loved, you are wanted, desired
I'll tell you again and again
You are fearfully, wondrously, gloriously, lovingly made

HOLY FIRE

Spirit come and fill us now
Wind and Holy Fire
Move upon, within, without
Lead to Your desire
Grant us knowlege of the Son
Will and Word and Thought be done
Worship Three and worship One
With the heav'nly choir

Praise to God and grace to man
Holy, Sovereign, Great I Am
Lord of Lords and Risen King
Healing mercy in Your wings

Son of Morning, Son of Man
Gift and fruit at Your command
Blessing promised, blessing planned
Spirit fill again
Spirit fill again

ALL MY DAYS

God, You are my God and I praise You
Lord, You are my Lord and I love You
God, You are my God and I praise You
Lord, You are my Lord and I long for You

How I long for your presence
How I look to Your grace
How I search for Your heart's desire
To walk with You
All my days

Lord, You rule over all eternity
Who, who am I that You care for me
Lord, You are the God of the universe
Oh, the depth of Your love amazes me

How I long for your presence
How I look to Your grace
How I search for Your heart's desire
To walk with You
All my days

TAPESTRY

As ocean waves are to the shore
As gentle rains to the sea
As starlight on the waters
So you are to me
We shall scale the mountains
Conquer the valleys too
Come wind, come rain, come Jesus
His love will see us through
Master Weaver, use us well
Two lives You weave as one
Oh, make of us a tapestry
In which Your beauty runs
In which Your beauty runs
Today you rose to greet me
As the daylight awoke the dawn
Our love is just beginning
But shall go on and on

IN THE OCEAN OF HIS LOVE

In the peace between the stillness
When quiet is the sound
I remember not believing
And yet the joy that now abounds
Jesus is like an ocean
He'll engulf and gently surround
With the tide of His love He'll astound you
And He's teaching me how to drown
In the ocean of His love
In the peace between life's stillness
When no one else is around
Do you have that peace with the Saviour?
Do you know His love?
Does His joy surround?

MOST OF ALL

I remember cold wind blowin' all across my face
A trace of frost would linger on my hair
As I wandered aimlessly from town to lonely town
Tryin' to shake my sadness and despair
And then I heard Him callin' me
Then I felt His tender love for me
And then finally I could see
That the sun had been shinin' all along

Oh, and I remember darkened streets
November's autumn leaves
They withered up and died every fall
But yet somehow I always hoped I'd live to see the spring
Your love was what I needed most of all

And if I didn't understand the searchin' in your hearts
I really couldn't sing this song at all
But Jesus knows just where you're at
And though you might gain the world
If you lose your soul then you have lost it all
If you lose your soul then you have lost it all

And then they nailed Him to a tree
And then He died, He died for you and me
But He is alive, and He wants to set you free
And all you've got to do is believe
Yes, all you've got to do is receive
Lord, Your love was what I needed most of all

BLESSED ARE THE PEOPLE

Blessed are the people who know the joyful sound
They shall walk, oh Lord, in the light of Thy face
Blessed are the people who know the joyful sound
They shall walk, oh Lord, in the light of Thy face
In Thy name shall they rejoice
All of the day
And in Thy name shall they rejoice
All of the day
In Thy name shall they rejoice
All of the day
And in Thy name shall they rejoice
All of the day
For Thou art my glory and my strength
For Thou, oh Lord, art my defense
For Thou art my glory and my strength
And the Holy One of Israel is my King
And the Holy One of Israel is my King!

FOR THEE I WAIT

I see You in tear and in tempest
I hear You in laughter and mirth
Your presence now surrounds me
In the mystery of death and birth
I bow before Your majesty
Worship before Your throne
You speak in language eternal
There Your glory is shown
I feel You in field and woodland
Touch You in rain and in wind
I know You in morning and evening
Where the dawn and dusk begin
Oh, Thou enthroned in Thy splendor
Maker of all we survey
To Thee I pledge my truest love
For Thy appearing I wait
